Efforts such as those of the United Nations Organization with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals show the way to all individuals in an effort to change mentality, focusing attention on Sustainable Development. Financial Institutions conduct viability assessments on businesses to attract new investors. There is now a strong interest, even in SME, regarding sustainable development, its benefits and the ways in which they can implement and follow it.This thesis presents an attempt to define sustainable development, how it appears in the second decade of the twenty-first century, a presentation of the goals that have been set for the next decades in the context of meetings and how the sustainable practices of enterprises are evaluated from investors but also consumers according to the results of previous surveys.
